Some of the most common questions we get are about rats. Rats seem to be more prevalent than ever, and many people worry that they've never seen so many around their property or even inside their homes. But keep in mind, rats are actually very intelligent creatures who will always stay away from traps if they smell any kind of danger. Here is a list of some reasons why you may not be catching as many rodents as you would like:

- The bait is too small

- The bait is too close to other un-baited traps -The bait doesn't appeal enough for the rat to take it on its own

- There is another food source more appealing to the rat that is taking the bait instead

- The rat has learned to associate the smell of the trap with danger and thus avoids it altogether.

No matter the reason, if you're having trouble catching rats using traditional bait methods, it might be time to call in a Little Bollington rat exterminator company. Rat exterminators have years of experience in dealing with these creatures and will know how to get them out of your home or property quickly and safely.

Do rats multiply quickly?

Rats can breed prolifically, with a female rat able to have up to six litters a year. This means that a population of just twenty rats could turn into over a thousand in just twelve months. Female rats can start breeding at just four months old, and they can have up to twelve young at a time. This is why it's so important to act quickly if you think you have a rat problem by contacting Little Bollington Rat Control Treatments and Removal Service.

The mating season for rats is between January and September, whereas once there has been a male and female together, this becomes an ongoing process, so you will find that they are breeding all year round rather than just focusing on one particular time period.

Rats that live within our homes, businesses or factories rely heavily on their sense of smell to navigate their way around. This is why it is very easy for them to get lost when they try to go out looking for food/water etc., which is why you often see them running around in circles, not only bringing further distress to themselves but also causing pointless damage as well through their lack of direction. Although both sexes like this will mark out territories with urine.

What health risks do rats pose?

Rats bear a number of diseases that are harmful to humans. These include leptospirosis, which can cause fever, muscle aches and vomiting; rat-bite fever, which can cause high fever, headache and rash; and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which can cause coughing and difficulty breathing. As well as this, rats also spread fleas and other parasites, which can cause infection.

If you or your family members come into contact with rat faeces or urine, be sure to thoroughly wash up with hot water and a disinfectant if possible and seek medical assistance immediately. Do not delay as the consequences could be fatal, especially if any said person suffers from any respiratory conditions.

What can I do if I have a rat problem?
